The show ends the 15th so I’d assume we still see it before then. It’s not like they are going to box up all the machines and ship them back without showing them

That playfield art is pretty hideous. Game looks like a fun shooter. Never thought Stern would go back to the 2000's crappy clip art style on their playfields. Lazy.
Quoted from Snailman:7x playfield multiplier? My guess is Dwight
Hopefully Tanio's still in the running. I want to see if Deadpool was a fluke, and that was the last Gomez pairing.

I just had a thought....I think even my mom is going to love this game. My parents were HUGE Sean Connery Bond fans. I think I saw Dr No on VHS when I was like 7 so I grew up with that era 007. Sadly my dad passed many years ago but I think my mom will really get a kick out of this game.
Quoted from PersonX99:I am sooo glad Stern went with early 2000's art on this. That was my favorite era of playfield artwork.
Most "renegades" are just big talkers but this man is the real deal.

Quoted from Pinballer31520:JAMES BOND RELEASE DELAYED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On behalf of everyone at Stern Pinball and out of respect to the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, we will be postponing our webinar and delaying the launch of our James Bond pinball machines.
We will send updated details for timing and registration once available.
Odd, didn't see that coming!
Did they seriously delay the launch? I thought that was a joke but someone posted a screen cap of an email in another thread.

The counter on the stern store added 7 days to the counter looks like next Tuesday the 20th now.

Oh, crap. You are right.

Looking for the same, my distributor did not get enough for those of us further down the I always want LE list
London
Quoted from Joe_Blasi:did the death lead to some kind of rights issue?
James Bond is irrevocably linked to the Queen, and the UK just started a mourning period that ends next Monday. Whilst I believe the Queen is a show must go on type I applaud Stern for their recognition of one of the worlds greatest leaders.

strange, the cat is allready out of the box now, so why the hold up exactly? the IAAPA show will still be held doesnt?
Quoted from Grantman:Did they seriously delay the launch? I thought that was a joke but someone posted a screen cap of an email in another thread.
Yes, as a distributor I can confirm that the webinar and launch have been delayed.
Quoted from Joe_Blasi:did the death lead to some kind of rights issue?
Weren't they streaming it from London?
Quoted from nicoy3k:Delaying it due to the death of a 96 year old celebrity is laughable
To be fair, the game does have "Her Majesty" right on the playfield.
There was a HUGE boxing event in the UK that didn't happen on Saturday because of the Queen's passing. The delay was to be expected, actually.
Quoted from NeilMcRae:this comment is laughable - a celebrity? are you joking?
well all those photos are to be seen now all over the internet, if they were really serious about postponing the game, they should have not opened those games out of their boxes.. its a little to late now i feel, but ok its their call sure..
but yeah the queen her passing is yes very sad indeed, but its been like 4 days now allready, they could have made that decision a tad earlier didnt they?
Quoted from Coz:[quoted image]
I want to dislike this post, but out of respect, I'll quote it instead
But the leaked pictures confirm what we needed to know, that the design and layout definitely has some wow to it.
Quoted from mr9865:So with the delay everyone back in on a Toy Story 4?

Stern as a US company might not know the impact of the Queen's death until they arrived here today. Literally every billboard and constant TV with the QE2's death.
Quoted from Indusguys:Makes sense that Stern leaked photos now that we now they are pushing back the release.
What kind of conspiracy kook nonsense is this? They set the games up at IAAPA; a public show. Of course there are going to be pictures.
Pretty sure the Queen was cool, I mean she drove a range rover and Im pretty sure she would want me to get an LE with a shooter rod and topper.
After reading their message about the Queen I totally understand this. I'm American but have spent a lot of time in the UK for work. Months at a time. I know this is obvious but the Queen's passing is a very big deal, and with Stern physically being in the UK right now and feeling the tone of the country I completely understand how they would decide it best to delay this event.
Yeah I'm disappointed but I understand.
Quoted from McDoom:Who are the villains?
Stern, when they reveal the price.
Quoted from CaptainNeo:Stern, when they reveal the price
After reveal ...
Queens death building FOMO
Quoted from McDoom:Who are the villains?
Based on the blurry playfield pic:
Dr. Julius No - Dr. No
Rosa Klebb - From Russia with Love
Auric Goldfinger - Goldfinger
Emilio Largo - Thunderball
Ernst Stavro Blofeld - You Only Live Twice
Ernst Stavro Blofeld - Diamonds are Forever
The first Blofeld pic is Donald Plesance from You Only Live Twice. So now Donald Pleasance is on two pinball machines (Halloween was the first).
The second Blofeld is Charles Gray who played Blofeld in Diamonds are Forever. Looks like text below his pic says something different than just Blofeld though?

If the MSRP of a packed Bond LE turns out to be cheaper than the MSRP of the cheapest TS4, the epic fail of TS4 cannot be overstated.
Quoted from 80sMan:Out of respect to the Queen.. and Worried about International sales!
Well yeah, disrespecting demographics is generally seen as impactful on business. Makes sense to me.
They would have delayed Godzila if Japan was attacked by a kaiju.
Quoted from epthegeek:What kind of conspiracy kook nonsense is this? They set the games up at IAPPA; a public show. Of course there are going to be pictures.
Why no translite picture then? Or pictures of the LE?
Quoted from Indusguys:Why no translite picture then? Or pictures of the LE?
Because IAPPA doesn’t open until tomorrow, and only a Pro and Premium were delivered.
